[issue29510] gitignore settings files for Eclipse IDE

[Jim DeLaHunt]

Jim DeLaHunt added the comment:

I have set up a global gitignore, and it works for me. 
% git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
(Amusingly, I had _already- set a global gitignore, but I had forgotten it 
existed, and it didn't ignore these IDE files.)

I agree that we should not put IDE entries in the CPython .gitignore. 

I also think it's a good idea to add the points Inada mentions in the developer 
doc somewhere. That should include the Git global ignore idea. I see Berker's 
point that the Devguide shouldn't get too big, but it also shouldn't leave out 
useful information. There's a balance to strike.

I think that's the topic of a different issue, however.  I'll open that when I 
get back to this.

In the meantime, if someone searches the issue database for "gitignore", they 
will find this discussion. That's helpful.

Thank you both for your responses, Inada and Berker.

[issue29510] gitignore settings files for Eclipse IDE

INADA Naoki added the comment:

I agree with Berker.

But some git/github tips are very useful for CPython core developers while they 
aren't CPython specific.
And some of them are not in beginner's guide.

I think it's worth enough to add link to such tips.

* Use gitignore_global to ignore IDE/Editor specific files: 
https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/
* Checkout pull request without adding remote: 
https://help.github.com/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally/
* Readable patch by git diff --indent-heuristic (git 2.11+) or 
--compact-heuristic (git 2.9+).
* Creating lightweight working tree by git-new-workdir (like `hg share`):

Thanks for the report and for the patch, Jim! I agree with Inada. 
global_gitignore is a better way to achieve this.

Our goal is to only cover CPython specific topics in devguide. There a lot of 
things that can be mentioned in devguide, but it would be hard to maintain all 
these information and keep devguide short at same time :)

Jim DeLaHunt added the comment:

gitignore_global is a great idea. I had not heard of it before. 

But here it is: https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/  . This 
instruction also has a link to a gist with a lot of helpful global ignores.

I understand your reluctance to add entries for every IDE. Maybe a better 
solution would be to add something to the devguide about excluding IDE settings 
files, with a link to the Github instructions.

INADA Naoki added the comment:

We'll move to github soon.  So no need for caring hgignore.

While there is `.vscode` in gitignore already, I'm not fan of
adding hundreds of IDE specific rule to gitignore.
Why don't you use gitignore_global?

[issue29510] gitignore settings files for Eclipse IDE

[Jim DeLaHunt]

Jim DeLaHunt added the comment:

I'm now looking at cpython as retrieved from Mercurial by Eclipse. It appears 
to be concerned by the presence of 
.project
which is also an Eclipse settings file.  

It might be reasonable to extend the scope of this issue to include telling 
Mercurial to ignore settings files. My pull request does not do this, because I 
haven't yet learned the right Mercurial action.

[issue29510] gitignore settings files for Eclipse IDE

[Jim DeLaHunt]

New submission from Jim DeLaHunt:

The Eclipse IDE, and its relatives pydev and LiClipse, store settings in the 
root of a repository. It would be nice for the master .gitignore file to ignore 
these files, so that individual developers don't have to do this. 

I am preparing a GitHub Pull Request that fixes this issue. It is a matter of 
adding 4 lines to the top-level .gitignore file.
